Comic about Jesus' Journey after Baptism!

Hello everybody welcome back to my blog! Today I will be posting about my R.E and telling you about some safety guidelines just like i always do in every single blog post! Lets get into it! But before I tell you any work I want you all to be safe so wash your hands for 20 seconds and if you are sick stay home and don't spread it! And social distance and now lets get onto the work stuff! So as you could see in my last post we were doing R.E and I am posting my R.E again! And we are doing learning tasks with like keys and so this is key 4 and we had to watch three videos of the Journeys that Jesus went through after His Baptism like going to the Desert for 40 days and Healing people!

So we had to make a comic strip or a story line of His adventures and I decided to make a Comic strip on Canva so her it is:

Stay Safe and stay tuned for Key number 5!

Newspaper Report about Jesus' Baptism!

Hello Everybody! It is me Kylie and this week for R.E we are learning about Jesus' Baptism and His story on how He got Baptized. But before I get into anything like school work I am going to say something I always say since it is still going around please if you are sick stay at home and practice your social distancing and if your country is in level 1 still be careful and wash your hands for 20 seconds and I always say this cause I get anxiety whenever I hear that there are more cases and just Pray that it will go away and now lets get started with the real deal!

Anyways we had to look at this video first and it was about this girl telling us about how Gabriel visited Mary and told her about Jesus and how Elizabeth is Pregnant and Mary was shocked cause Elizabeth is so old that she can't have a Baby but it was a Miracle from God and now Mary is getting a Baby and He shall be named Jesus the Son of God! And then we watched another Video and it was the same thing that I just talked about but Gabriel was singing about it!

Then we had to answer these questions referring to the video then we had to make a News Report about Jesus' Baptism so here is mine:

Something I enjoyed was looking at all the videos and information about Jesus' Baptism!

Something I found difficult was using the Newspaper Generator cause it was my first time and I didn't really know how to work it but next time I use it I will be a pro at it!

Stay tuned for more work and stay safe!

Matariki!

As most of you know it is Matariki time or past Matariki time because it is celebrated and they appear on late May or Early June! Wait Kylie what are you talking about you might ask or what is Matariki well for reading this week we don't have any reading activities to do but since Matariki has passed we are learning about Matariki and I am just gonna give you all a head start before I get into the real deal! Matariki is about Maori new year! And what the Maori do is that they sing, dance eat and talk about their ancestors and ancestry! And that sounds fun! Bit they also make kites and they let them fly on Matariki day! Oh wait is that too much information or was it enough?

And also the whole Corona Virus thing is still going around so still keep cautious of whoever you are with and wash your hands for 20 seconds and all of you might get sick of me writing these things every time in my blog posts but I just don't want it to keep spreading so please share the same message to all of your family and friends so we can stop the spread from just one blog post please!

But anyways what we had to do for Reading this week is our teacher (Ms Wilton) set out 4 different websites and readings that we had to watch or read through then on the least activity there was a reading and 10 questions in it and we had to answer those questions on a google doc so here is me answering all the questions:

What is Matariki?

Matariki is when the 7 brothers or sisters shine up in the sky at night time in late May or early June as stars and that is when the Maori get the time to remember their ancestors and ancentry and it is also Maori New Year!

What is a Constellation?

It is another Word for cluster or like a small group of something like in this case a small group of stars.

When do the Matariki Stars Reappear?

Late May or Early June.

What did the Maori believe the stars would look like if it was going to be a good season?

The stars would shine bright.

What do these words in Te Reo Maori mean in english?

Pataka Kai - Storage House

Hakari - Feasts

Whenua - Land

Whanau - Family

Whakapapa - Ancestry

List two ways Maori People Celebrate Matariki:

They talk about their ancestors and they eat lots of kai (food).

During Matariki, people celebrate with music, songs, dance, food and family. True or False?

True.

What stories do you think Maori people shared at this time?

They would talk about their ancestors and ancestry.

Name a Celebration that is important to you, when is it celebrated and how you celebrate it?

Christmas because Me and my Family has this group we have with other families and we call it the gang and we are not actually “A Gang” but we call it that because I don’t know really we just started hanging out all the time and I became best friends with the people I met and I get to spend time with them all day at Christmas time. It is obviously celebrated on the 25th of December and how we celebrate it is we sing Karaoke, we eat food and we talk about things and have a great time!

Think of one way you could celebrate Matariki with your class or family. What would you do?

We would have lots of food in trays outside and at night time we would lay down in the grass outside and look at the stars. 

But that is not the DLO we had to do. And then after that we had to make a DLO teaching others about Matariki and using our Knowledge that we just learned in the different websites. So here is my DLO teaching you guys about Matariki:

Mahinga Kai!

So this week for reading we are not doing any reading activities today the whole class is doing the same reading well not all of us so Mars and Saturn and I am in Saturn we are reading about Mahinga Kai! And Mercury and Jupiter are reading about Poha and Mahinga Kai and Poha are both related to food! So since I am in Saturn I will tell you a little bit about Mahinga Kai only a little bit though cause that means if I told you everything my DLO would just be a waste of time! Oh speaking of DLO we had to make a DLO about what we were reading about and instead of doing a boring google drawing, boring google doc and a boring slideshow since we do that all the time I decided to make a Powtoon! So now I am going to tell you one small little thing about Mahinga Kai! And it is about Food Processing!

And like I say all the time since Corona Virus is still happening please social distance and if you are sick isolate so others don't get it and ask your doctor to come and help you feel better and wash your hands for 20 seconds remember that and stay safe!

So first we had to look at the story and read it then watch a video about it and read this website about it as well then there was this google doc that we had to pit our names in and find another website of hour own and link it next to our names! Then it said to create a DLO teaching others about Mahinga Kai so here is my DLO:

Something I enjoyed was learning about Mahinga Kai cause it is actually something I don't learn about and haven't learned about so it is so cool to learn something new!

Something I found difficult was thinking about what DLO I wanted to do cause there are so many cool ways to present different things!

Hope you all have a good day and stay safe!

CERR Value Tokens are back!

So as you all know and most of you should be back at school and not doing any home school things anymore cause here in New Zealand we are in level 1 now which is great but we still need to be careful when we travel cause like they say if you get corona from a stranger they don't know where you got it from or who you got it from so yes just stay safe and sanitize and wash your hands and stay hygienic! So today I am just going to be writing things on this blog post and I'm not going to put like a google drawing or a DLO up because today I want to talk about the CERR Value tokens! So lets get started!

So a few years ago here at St Bernadette's school whenever it was recess time teachers had these tokens and we had four colored tokens that we used to get, the colors were Red, Blue, Yellow and green. And as you know I am in a catholic school so we have Catholic Values. Most of you know the CERR Values we have here at St Bernadette's. Compassion, Excellence, Responsibility and Respect. The color for Compassion is Red, The color for Excellence is yellow, the color for Responsibility is blue and the color for Respect is green! So at Recess time whenever the duty teacher so someone doing something good or using one of the Values they would give them a token. For example if I was showing Responsibility by picking up rubbish then I would get a blue token and then at the end of the day we would get a prize from our teacher and I was a little kid back then.

But now we don't have them anymore but there is this boy called Caleb Breen and he is like a boy who can't really control himself and I don't want to say that he is a physco or like there is something wrong with him but he has just been doing so much bad things to everyone and one day everyone just had enough! We locked all the doors and so much people started crying and even I started crying and my teacher cried to but that was on another day but still! So then he got suspended till today, which is Friday and we just finished doing tech.

But while he was not here at school my teacher decided to bring back the CERR Value Tokens back! So on Tuesday our class decided to make three stations because our Teacher wanted  to reward us children who doesn't do what Caleb Breen does! The three stations were a CERR Cafe, Building station and a Crafts Station.

The CERR Cafe is where the year 8's make hot chocolate, toast and cereal and serve some candies and milk and we pay for it but with the tokens so we can get food by paying tokens. So our Teacher Ms Wilton will be watching us carefully. And if we get 20 tokens by the end of this term we can have a Private lunch with our Principal Mr Norman!

The Building Station is where we can build with blocks or legos to build something and the Craft Station is where there are like play doh, gel pens and other fun Arts and Craft tools!

So that is what we have been doing and I thought you guys would love to here what is going on here at school then just work so maybe suggest this to your teacher if you think your class is a really good behaved class!

Wings of God!

So this week for R.E we are learning about God in the old Testament. We were put into Buddies and my Partner was Ella Kearney. Then everyone got a passage we needed to find and read about and we needed to think about and then we needed to do a Poster on Paper of a Drawing that symbolizes that passage and we needed to write the Passage and who was it from and what it means. And I hope everyone is staying safe and washing their hands and social distancing and I always say this cause this Virus is a really big Virus and it is one of the worst Virus's the world has probably have. So if your sick Isolate yourself so it won't spread and right now my Country New Zealand is in level 1 now so I am back to school and everyone is but there are still people around the world Quarantined. So please follow the safety rules so we can all be safe!

Maybe all of you guys who are reading this right now can try something like me and Ella did here at school! Like make a poster if you are bored like find a reading from the Bible and write it down and write the passage from it and who it was from and make a drawing that can symbolize it and what it means! And post it on your blog just like what I have done right now! My one was about God being an Eagle and us people were the Eagle Babies and the Eagle will catch us if we fall just like God will catch us if we fall apart from God.

So maybe try something like this:

And we also have to write down in our blog post how we can be more like the Holy Spirit so how I can be more like the Holy Spirit is by helping others in need and forgiving others who might have hurt me cause that is what Jesus did and I want to be more like Jesus! And I can show Goodness to everyone and Joy so if they are feeling sad I can make them happy!
